Start Preamble

A. Purpose

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the intent to fund fiscal year (FY) 2004 funds for a grant program to study the prevalence of thyroid disorders and cancers in adults, who, as children, were exposed to radioactive fallout from the nuclear device testing at the Nevada Test Site, 1944-1957. The study is designed to provide a third (Phase III) diagnostic examination of the thyroid gland (approximately 55 years post exposure). The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program is 93.283.

B. Eligible Applicant

Assistance will be provided only to The University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah. The University of Utah, under a previous five-year cooperative agreement and a one-year continuation, initiated data collection activities. They are prepared to initiate activities for Phase III of the Utah Thyroid Disease Study. To date the University of Utah has completed:

6. Completed the identification of subjects needed for the mortality study.

7. Begun to locate and identify the study cohort.

It is in the best interest of the CDC to continue funding the University of Utah to completion of the Utah Thyroid Disease Study.

C. Funding

Approximately $500,000 is available in FY 2004 to fund this award. It is expected that the award will begin on or before September 1, 2004, and will be made for a 12-month budget period and 12-month project period. Funding estimates may change.
